Political security of the state in the conditions of instability of the international political environment

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to define the political security concept in conditions of modern threats to international security. The relevance of political security study is confirmed by the lack of conceptualisation of this concept by social and political sciences. There is a need to define this concept in today's conditions in connection with the changes taking place in the world, particularly in the political arena. Political security concerns the organisational stability of public administration, their systemic governance and the ideology that legitimises. The research results found that the concept of political security is still poorly understood; approaches to its definition are changing following the transformation of general views on political science and need clarification and additions. The findings found that the relationship between political security and humanitarian intervention was closely linked. It has been identified that one of the critical threats to international security today remains state repression, systematic human rights abuses and militarization, which necessitates a focus on political security. It is substantiated that this discussion's nature has changed in both theoretical and practical dimensions due to the changing political environment of security. It is argued that political security, humanitarian intervention, and the right to protection remain a vital part of the international community's discourse and practice. The new policy of protection against humanitarian crises is permeated by differences over the right to intervene and protect. The transformations of threats in the international political arena and the changing nature of the concept of security demonstrate the anachronism of the definition of political security, as new challenges to global security are emerging every day.
